"HAHAHA! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! LORD IZO IS THE STRONGEST EVER!! NO ONE CAN COMPARE! NOT EVEN THE EARTH'S GREATEST POLICE FORCE!!!! HAHAHA!!!"

*Presses down even harder. However, Kondo-san is not begging for his life or even screaming in pain. All he's doing in trying to hold in the signs of the pain he feels while giving Izo a defiant look*

"And what is that look for Kondo-san?.... "

*Izo bares his fangs at Kondo*

"...I can't stand that look. It looks just like her eyes. That same look she always gives me. That girl always gives me THAT SAME DEFIANT LOOK!"

*Izo begins to press even harder*

"Oh I get it. She learned that from you did she? Well, tell me. Will she still give me that look when she finds out you're dead? THAT THE ONE THING THAT GAVE HER HOPE ALL THESE YEARS IS DEAD?! WILL SHE STILL DEFY ME THEN?!"

"Just noticed now huh? Man you really are stupider than m.... I mean you really are stupid when begin fighting GAH HAH HAH!"

*Kondo grips his katana tightly and points the blade down*

"It just needs one small final push and...."

*Kondo strikes the craking ground around him. And now the floor around the two fighters begins to shake violently*

"...there we have it hehe"

*Izo's pressing of Kondo into the ground only served to speed up the damage being done. The final strike of the blade into the cracking ground caused the floor to caved under him and sent the two falling down into the room below*

"Ooofff!!"

*Kondo fell down along with Izo into a corridor below the room. He slowly gets up as the ship begins to slowly lose altitude*

"Let's say you and me finish this up huh? How about it?"

*Izo stands up and faces Kondo ready to get back into the fight. The ship continues to slowly go down. The final stages are upon us. Camera stops and freezes frame. Music stops. Camera fades to black*

Gintoki continues to run with Mizuki. He can feel the ground shaking and the ship tilting. He shifts the weight of his body in order to make sure that he doesn't fall flat on his face. He also tries to make sure Mizuki doesn't fall either as he is gently dragging her with him. Gintoki hopes to find Kagura and Shinpachi soon so that they can get out of the ship with Mizuki to warn the Shinsengumi of their plans.

*Gintoki looks back to Mizuki*

"Good job Mizuki, this perverted host club of a ship is crashing down. Don't worry about the Gorilla , if worst comes to shove he'll find a dirty tree to climb up to and escape. We ought to find Patsaun and Kagura before getting out of here ."

Gintoki continues to run down the falling ship. There were Amanto grunts all over the place but they chose to ignore Gintoki and Mizuki. After all they are paid mercenaries and they sure as hell won't care won't care about doing the job if their lives are at stake.

Mizuki looks up with renewed hope while trying to keep up with Gin. For once, her so-called "misfortune" was turned the other way around to benefit those she cared for. She's still uncertain how it will save them all, now that the ship has turned unstable.... but if it would serve as disadvantage for their enemies, she regrets not a single thing.

"I am not at full power Lord Izo. But the pressing matter now is the girl and the ship. Don't worry, I will keep Kondo-san here entertained while you go after the g..."

*Before Fuzen even finished his sentence, Izo had already made his way behind him. It only took a mere moment for him. Izo's speed was even too much for his own Reiki soldiers. And while standing there behind Fuzen, he said...*

"I'm entrusting this one to you Fuzen. Do... not...fail me..."

*Izo took off after those words. He now went to search for Gintoki and the girl*

"Kondo-san, our fight was interrupted earlier. What say you if we finish this now?

*Fuzen sees Kondo Isao back up and take a battle-ready stance with his katana. Fuzen backs up a little does the same. Their eyes dead set on each other... they wait for the other to make a move when... they both push off and rush towards each other. Kondo pointing his blade at Fuzen and Fuzen pointing his steel claw at Kondo. Freeze frame right before their weapons clash. Music begins to fade and camera fades to black*
